Yes and No.

The Spanish city of Tarifa is the closest place on the continent of Europe to the equator. The Greek island of Crete is closer to the equator than any point in Spain. Additionally, French Guiana, an overseas department of France is significantly closer to the equator than any point in Europe proper.

No, Spain is not the closest European country to the equator. The closest country would be Portugal, as it is located further south than Spain.
